Explanation
The correct answer is C: Review the portfolio roadmap. The portfolio roadmap is the authoritative document that shows the high-level sequencing, dependencies, and timing of all portfolio components aligned to strategic objectives. Before creating low-level schedules, the portfolio manager must review the roadmap to ensure component-level timelines are consistent with the portfolio's planned progression and strategic milestones. Option A (KPIs for each component) addresses performance measurement, not schedule creation. Option B (critical success factors) is about defining what success looks like, not scheduling. Option D (portfolio performance plan) covers how performance will be monitored, but reviewing the roadmap must come first to establish the baseline schedule structure from which monitoring can occur.
